I've done a full install and I'm well into the game. First it crashed when I tried to join the alien guts with the alien bone but I got around that using win98 compatibility mode (in XP). Now it crashes just before the Simple Simon puzzle through the secret door. Just crashes right back to desktop.

I've read some messages saying there's a problem with the full install option but I'd rather not reinstall if I can avoid it.

Any ideas?

PS I've already installed the Win2k patch fix and it has no effect. I also tried to lower my hardware acceleration and this also had no effect.

Jenny100: Do you mean start again from the beginning or quit the game and restart from my save game? If you meant the first I'd be reluctant to play through most of the game again when I'm not that far from the end. If you meant the latter, yes I did this.

satch: I don't think there is an option to do this in the game, but I did try all the options it offered. Which were not extensive.

Thanks guys but I'm going to try a smaller install and see if works afterwards.
